Saturday, 12th July, 2025:Neil Pharaoh, Co-Founder TANCK: Cost of living crisis and International Politics Update

Is the AUKUS agreement under threat from Trump? Could AUKUS force Australia into an armed conflict with China if the USA goes to war with China? Is the government doing enough to protect Jewish students in Australian Universities? Is the Reserve Bank being too cautious in holding the interest rate at its current rate? Inflation is still causing cost of living hurt on regular Australians–how are duopolies causing issues with the cost of living?

Neil is a founding Director of Tanck, and a government engagement and campaigning guru with a depth of experience in social purpose, government, public policy, and advocacy.

Having led corporate affairs, business development and marketing teams, he has been the driving force behind leading social policy and advocacy campaigns, as well as national and international philanthropic and development work, in child welfare, education, refugee and LGBTIQ+ issues.

Neil was a founding director of LGBTIQ+ philanthropic group, GiveOUT, and was national co-convenor of Rainbow Labor, where he led the internal campaign which achieved over 200 legislative and regulatory reforms, including changing the Labor Party’s position on marriage equality. Neil was featured in the Deloitte ‘2018 Outstanding 50 LGBTI Leaders’ list and ran for parliament in 2014 and 2018 as the Labor candidate for Prahran, Victoria.

After many years working across the not-for-profit, private and government sectors, both in Australia and internationally, Neil formed Pharaoh + Associates, and in 2021, co-founded Tanck, a government engagement consultancy firm who believe there is strength in strategy.
